Found among my referrer tags, thanks to a comment:
The picture's from the guy who runs Fleebnork; oddly enough, his other photos have something of a Lego slant to them, too.
The custom spaceman itself came from the guy who runs the bespoke-minifig-accessory emporium BrickForge.

Awesome Brikwars! Is there anywhere in Sydney where people get together and play?

There's definitely some - see the excellently-named but currently-home-page-less "Studs" in Sydney, for instance. Brikwars has also been around for several years now, so a lot of tabletop wargamers at least know about it.
Given the large intersection between the sets of "people who've seriously considered spending ninety bucks on a plastic tank that isn't even radio-controlled, or painted" and "people who've got a couple of battalions of Lego knights, spacemen and/or pizza-delivery guys gathering dust somewhere", it shouldn't be too hard to get a game together. The Brikwars rules are deliberately pretty fast and breezy (so it's what's often called a "beer and pretzels" wargame), to try to minimise the number of times you feel as if you'd be having a lot more fun if you were playing the game on a computer. Here's the entry for Brikwars on BoardGameGeek, by the way.
And even if you've no intention of actually playing the game, I really must insist that you put a print of the "Epic" image up on your wall.
